'Again'

Certain expectations and opinions of the members of Buffalo Springfield in future endeavors skewed my feeling about this album.

The truth is, I love Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash and all other albums associated with everyone involved with this album including The Wrecking Crew.

Unfortunately, we catch them here before they achieve a certain level of understanding what truly great music is. We catch them at that split second when the filament pops in the light bulb, but it's illuminated. It glows, but there's no light.

Over the next 15 years, those guys on this album would proceed to make some of hte most brilliant rock and country-rock music the world has ever seen.

That brilliance was not on display with Again. This is a dated piece: A relic of the 1960s with fuzz guitar, plodding baselines and sophomoric lyrics. I sit disappointed, but assured that they would do much better.
